A poem that echoes my thoughts

I was ecstatic to hear from my friend about her daughter winning the prize in a poetry competition held during the Youth Health Mela 2013 in Chennai. She shared with me her daughter's work and when I read it, I was proud to have such a lovely parent, who was bringing up her children the right way, as my friend. The poem echoed my thoughts to the tee and was written so well. She just had to win. Her poem breathes life into naturalist David Attenborough's warning that humans have become a “plague on the Earth”.
Reading this poem gave me hope for the future.
